A story told by pictures. Hans Holbein confronts us with the ordeal of Jesus Christ in his painting series »The Grey Passion« (around 1460). Suffering and humiliation are shown usparlingly. Nevertheless, Holbein tells the story to the end, letting Jesus rise again from the dead, leaving all his pain behind. The narrative of these six detailed paintings is a story of deep love, faith and hope, which sums up the spirit of Easter perfectly. Come around and discover all the paintings in our collection that tell the stories about Christ’s passion. Due to Easter holiday, our museum will be closed tomorrow, but opens again on Saturday at the usual times. We wish you a very calm and joyful holiday in advance, spend it with your loved ones! And maybe visit our collection this weekend to get inspired by Holbein‘s paintings? Happy Easter everyone! #staatsgaleriestuttgart #staatsgalerie #museum #artmuseum #kunstmuseum #art #kunst #arthistory #hansholbein #jesus #jesuschrist #passion #collection #stuttgart #0711 #easter #happyeaster #grauepassion #holbein #ostern

»Nonsense statt Konsens« - auch dieser Ausdruck ist einer der Sponti-Sprüche der Protestbewegungen der 60er-Jahre, bei denen vor allem gegen Spießertum, vorherrschende Moralvorstellungen und gesellschaftliche Konventionen rebelliert wurde. Der Ruf nach Freiheit und Individualität wurde immer lauter. Die vier Künstler Baselitz, Richter, Polke und Kiefer nahmen in ihrem Frühwerk diesen Zeitgeist auf. Auch wenn sie sich alle selbst unpolitisch nennen, prägt ihre Kunst vor allem im Ausland bis heute das Bild eines neuen, kritischen Deutschlands. Ihre figurativen Gemälde fordern in den 60er-Jahren die damalige Vorherrschaft der Abstraktion heraus. • • • »Nonsense instead of consensus« - this expression is also one of the sayings of the 1960's protest movements, which were rebelling against philistineism, prevailing morals and social conventions. The call for freedom and individuality became louder and louder. The four artists Baselitz, Richter, Polke and Kiefer took up this zeitgeist in their early work. Even if they all call themselves apolitical, their art, especially abroad, shaped and still shapes the image of a new, critical Germany. Their figurative paintings challenge the prevalence of abstraction at this time. #staatsgaleriestuttgart #staatsgalerie #stuttgart #0711 #museum #meinmuseum #art #kunst #kunstmuseum #DieJungenJahreDerAltenMeister #künstlerquartett #60erjahre #oldmasters #germanmasters #exhibition #georgbaselitz #baselitz #gerhardrichter #richter #sigmarpolke #polke #anselmkiefer #kiefer #60ies #earlyworks #upcomingexhibition #spontisprüche #studentenprotest #diewilden60er

High ranked visit in our museum! The Federal President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier opened our special exhibition »The Early Years of the Old Masters. Baselitz - Richter - Polke - Kiefer« yesterday. To our great pleasure, artist Anselm Kiefer attended the opening as well. You can see him here in the middle, sitting in front of two of his marvellous paintings and talking lively about his works with Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender. What an honor for us to have the President and one of the artists visiting our museum in person. You can explore our special exhibition now until the 11th of August. Dive into the spirit of the 60ies and enjoy the many facets of this eventful decade! @bundespraesident.steinmeier #staatsgaleriestuttgart #staatsgalerie #stuttgart #0711 #museum #meinmuseum #art #kunst #kunstmuseum #DieJungenJahreDerAltenMeister #künstlerquartett #60erjahre #60s oldmasters #germanmasters #exhibition #georgbaselitz #baselitz #gerhardrichter #richter #sigmarpolke #polke #anselmkiefer #kiefer #60ies #earlyworks #spontisprüche #studentenprotest #diewilden60er
